The whole interview process was challenging, ranging from medium to difficult. The first round involved Data Structures and Algorithms questions focusing on trees and linked lists, with an easy to medium difficulty. The second round was a Machine Learning assessment test, specifically for a standard classification problem. Round 3 delved into technical depth in ML, drawing from my past projects. Finally, Round 4 was with the hiring manager, where I faced scenario-based questions.

Technical Behavioral
The interview process was really well organized. It had three rounds in total: two in-person meetings and one phone call. Each round seemed to build on the others. The questions were a mix of medium and difficult, and the interviewers were nice and friendly. They also asked questions based on real-life problems. All in all, it was a good experience.
